Back in June, I was bemoaning the dishwasher install in which Home Depot's two computer systems had different ideas of what my delivery date should be. At the time, I vowed to write a "strongly worded letter to Home Depot asking for my $50 delivery charge back." I didn't think it'd work but I felt the need to try.

Well, it DID work! I got a phone call from the store manager offering either a gift card or a discount on another appliance. The only appliance we could get at the moment is a microwave, since we are currently using the microwave oven that Mr. W had when I met him (in 1994!). There's rust in it (yes, really) but it still seems to be working well and I think we kind of want to see whether it'll still be running in another .... I just did the math and it gave me heart failure... 16 more years... how did I get so old?? I remember 1994 like it was yesterday. I barely remember yesterday, frankly, but 1994 is clear in my mind. Egad.

Wow.

Anyhow, if the microwave does give up the ghost, it'd probably be easier to just have a gift card instead of a discount on an appliance, so I politely requested such and it arrived in the mail yesterday! The polite but clearly worded letter did the trick. I'm impressed with Home Depot, I must say.

If you'll excuse me, I'm just going to sit over here and mutter, "1994. How could that be?" for a while.

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my blog. I've done my best to make it easy for you to find information about me and my books but if you can't find what you're looking for please let me know!

Please also let me know what you think of my books. I cherish reader feedback. I didn't realize before I began writing how much a simple "I loved your book" email really means, but now I collect and reread them. (You can tell me if you don't like the books too, but I might not reread that one. :)
